This episode of Lost Trade is a visit with one of the most well known custom stamping tool makers in the leather industry.

Robert Beard is known around the world for his completely hand crafted stamping tools. We had the honor of sitting down with him and hearing just a glimpse of his amazing life and adventures through his leathercraft journey.

We did this interview before we went to the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show in Sheridan, WY. For this reason, there is some talk during the interview of the "upcoming show" and obviously that has already occured.

I truly enjoyed this interview and the oppurtunity to visit with such an icon in our industry.
